Thank you for protecting wild rivers in southwestern Oregon

Dear Senator Wyden,

Dear Senator Ron Wyden,

Thank you for your leadership to preserve special rivers in southwest Oregon by reintroducing the Oregon Recreation Enhancement Act!

Your historic legislation will protect key tributaries to rivers like the Rogue, Illinois, Chetco and Smith rivers. Building on the important Southern Oregon Watershed & Salmon Protection (SOWSPA) Act which recently passed the House as part of a public lands package, your bill goes a long way towards protecting our region’s unique wild rivers and healthy wild salmon & steelhead runs. Thank you for advocating for wilderness and promoting more outdoor recreation, while safeguarding important fish and wildlife habitat and clean drinking water. The Rogue River is a centerpiece for building a sustainable recreation economy in southern Oregon.

People come from all over the world to explore rivers in our state, spending tens of millions of dollars each year in local economies. Recently, these rivers have proven essential during the pandemic, as residents turn to the outdoors more than ever for solace and enjoyment.

Protecting key tributaries to rivers like the Rogue, Illinois, Chetco, and Smith in Southwestern Oregon is a commitment to future generations that they will be able to paddle, hike, fish, boat, and see the same wild rivers current residents have been able to enjoy.
 
Thank you for your work and commitment to ensure that our treasured waters will be conserved for generations to come.

Sincerely,

Sincerely, [Your information here]
